and yeah i keep hearing good things about anabeta, so weird i almost dont believe it!

I had a crazy and unexpected workout today. I was in the middle of a backworkout, when I ran into a friend and my back work out merged into a legs workout. I also did some more Deads today, keeping it light & tight.

I felt like I crushed it today, not so much because of the squat PR's alone, but being able to hit them after Deads and Cleans. I was pretty enthused about it. I would have stayed and polished off my back, but I was due home. Great workout day, I'm really excited about the new PR's.
I also brought chalk today and left my wraps. I need to work on my raw grip.

You can still perform cleans without a full squat, even if you're placing of the barbell isn't quite right. It's what I've been doing until this week really, and thanks bro. It was a murderous workout.

Yeah.... I can't say I wasn't fully expecting that, but it still sucked as it unfolded. The Nate/Gomi fight was cool. Nate looks way better at his current division. I don't know if Rashad will do any better. I'm of the camp that the best person to challenge JBJ is Lyoto Machida, but who knows. People with JBJ's reach aren't suppose to be able to retract those limbs so quickly and be so agile. He's a freak of nature like Brock, except JBJ has the formidable talent to fully exploit his freakishness for the sake of MMA.
VolcomX311

For sure, that was 100% my concern as well (until about a week ago), but if you stay at it the confidence will come. I was hang cleaning up to 225lbs for reps, but doing it the "legit" way, I gotta start back from the bottom and re-build those numbers back up.

As always your workouts continue to impress.
I have been looking into the Formula X it looks sweet and would be perfect for me to use during my current run. I just need to try to get some cash together for it. I am thinking it would be great to keep test up. That or maybe during the PCT would be good. Any thoughts from the Athletix guys? Many people use it in PCT?
Consider yourselves invited to come and see what NTBM Transaderm can do for me with no specific changes to diet and only minor changes to training style.

Those front kicks to the knee must have killed! Now that you said it, I would like to see that match up Machida vs JBJ, that would be very interesting, did you see the new interview of Steven Segal? lol
I would definitely use it in PCT, thats the best use for it, I liked it during my AL/AH cycle, I found it did keep libido high, but I do find it has better use in PCT.
Formula-X can really be used for so many things, could be used during cycle, PCT, natty cycle, non stim pre-workout and my current favorite use for FormulaX is Intra-Workout, it's been great for Recovery!
VolcomX311

No, I haven't seen the new Seagal interview, but you just gave me something to look up. There was a lot of people rooting for JBJ at the place where I was watching it and when JBJ won, there was mass mumoring of "the old school is dead, it's all about the new school, the old school is dead." I would still consider GSP and Andy Silva from the old school, but I guess the FW, LW, LHW and HW could be considered the "new school."

Cain is kind of new school so is Brock.
Looking back at the fight, Rampage had to chance. I still think some old timers will pull out a few more wins, a lot of new athletes, not fighters are maknig their way into the sport. they are being much smarter with diet, conditioning, and being well rounded comapred to some of these guys who just master a discipline. the old timers do evolve but dont use it in their game plans as effectively. The sport changes so fast.
I am so sick of Steven Segal and wanting to mentor these MMA guys.

I'm exhausted, so I'll have to apologize for a potential lack of enthusiasm post. I had a good workout, so I'm happy about that, but I'm just exhausted. My cousine from Taiwan is in town, so went down to San Diego to watch the Dodger/Padres game and he got to meet his hero, Hung Chi Quo. Apparently, Hung Chi Quo is to Taiwan, what Yao Ming is to China, a local boy who made it big in the U.S. sports leagues. Therefore, we got home late last night and it's finally catching up to me now.

It's not so much that the sport is changing, it's just that the fighters themselves are more organized and they can train full-time. Like you said, there are a lot of athletes coming to MMA and not just "fighters." Perfect example is GSP and Condit; GSP is a super athlete, while Condit is a fighter. You can tell the difference in mentalities by how Jackson coaches them both. With GSP, he's more cerebral and relaxed, but, with Condit, he's more fired up and aggressive.

Man I hear you on the no motivation, I'm sure after a long day out, then a double workout at the gym (Even though you were just testing it probably took even more energy cause you had to think about what you were doing cause it's a new workout!).

Speaking of GSP and Condit. How do you see this one going? I'm getting the same feeling about the GSP/Condit fight as I did about the Rampage/JBJ. Granted, I think Condit has a greater margin of victory to succeed against GSP, then Rampage did against JBJ, but I see the return of GSP the wrestler in this fight and no one is beating GSP when he's actively trying to out-wrestle you. Also, who is Greg Jackson going to strategize for? I know GSP trains at tri-star, but he does use Greg Jackson as his fight strategist, right? Pretty sure. I'm sure Greg would tell GSP to take the fight to the ground and presumably tell Condit to avoid GSP's TD, but that's something every fighter knows to do but can't pull off. Anyone know what the Greg Jackson element will be between these two?

UFC is planning an event at the Sayatoma Super Arena, that'll be local.

Taiwan is a pretty small island, so when something is cool or trendy, EVERYBODY is wearing it, cutting their hair like it, driving it..... I hear sushi is cheap in the right places in Hawaii, is that true with Japan as well? and how often do you have Kobe Beef? Cause that's what I'd be all over.

In hawaii it seems like the Japanese still believe in the clean, simple, mannerism, but here... it's like level MAX hah. They have slippers for everything. Like it's to the point where it's nonsense. Also, in Hawaii we have The Bon Festival Dances every weekend for like 3 months, in Japan it's for like 3 days. And it's something that barely anyone goes to. Where as in Hawaii it's like the thing to do on the weekends if you are a high schooler. Japanese here are definitely different from those in Hawaii. MUCH more relaxed. Well except my grandma... but her family is like most ppl here... have to clean up and provide EVERYTHING for guests, so much to the point where they have decided that inviting people is something they will NEVER do again. In Japan people like it but the things they notice is different.
Sushi in Japan is cheap at ANY 100 en sushi bar.. hahah. In Hawaii Sushi is pretty cheap at the kaiten sushi, the kind where they put the sushi on a conveyor belt. Not in the $1 range for fish, but 2 bucks for 2 is about right for the Maguro/Tuna.
I actually like grass fed australian beef, but my friends go to Kobe to eat it. All the meat that is made in Japan is MUCH fattier. Also, it's MUCH more expensive lol. maybe like $40 a pound? haha.
Things that are popular are definitely KNOWN by everyone, and EVERYONE looks the same as far as style/fashion.... sad really. Anyone who isn't doing what is popular is considered odd. Which is sad because they don't have much variety....
